4-2 Journal: Effects of Emotions
Instructions
Describe a scenario of when emotion
influenced a personal or professional decision in your life to offer instructor
some context. Then, answer the following questions:
·
Did this emotional influence on your thinking
exert a positive or negative influence?
·
Did it help or hinder your thought process?
o
If it helped you think more clearly, how
so?
o
If it hindered your thought process, what
could you have done to make this emotional influence a more positive and helpful
one?
Consider this example:
You are offered a new job with a huge
increase in pay. Your first day will be in two weeks. You are very excited and
your mind jumps to all the possibilities of how your life will change with this
new opportunity. This weekend you go out and buy a brand new SUV. The next day,
after the excitement starts to come down, you find yourself with buyer's
remorse, and worry about being able to afford the vehicle if the job offer
somehow falls through.
In this situation, the excitement of the
new job and pay potential hindered the thought process, potentially causing
additional stress, since you haven't started the new job yet, or received the
new paycheck to confirm that you are able to afford the increased payment for
the SUV. An option you could have considered is waiting until you started the
job and received your first paycheck to determine if the new car payment would
fit into your budget.
